Hey Erin-
Gracious enough?!? If you call jumping up and down and screaming our heads off gracious, okay.... We were GEEKED enough, thats for sure!

What an alliance! We were SO glad you guys were in a position to pick us. Your machine is awesome, and you sure know how to use it. There were a few spots there where we (65) really didn't hold up our end of the bargain (the reason we underperformed is simply because setscrews suck - you'd think we'd learn...), but you always took up our slack. Thanks for bringing us along!
It was a match made in ....... PONTIAC!!!!
That 'we got first place' comment - we must have said that twenty times on the long drive home - s'been a long time coming for us!

Thanks, on behalf of the Huskie Brigade!
Ken
P.S. - thanks to our other ally #240, Visteon & Jefferson, for helping us with tools and a battery and strategy during eliminations too!
